The Domestic Problem.

The present system of domestic service
presents a curious anomaly. Housekeeping
is becoming more and more a burden; the
proportion of native domestics to the whole
number is smaller perhaps than ever before;
yet the wages are higher than ever before,
and higher than women receive for any sort
of manual labor, and higher than most re-
ceiye for labor of any kind. Many robust
woman gets fifteen dollars a month and
board and lodging in Brooklyn as servant,
and many a woman who makes her living by
teaching receives less. The cost of domestic
service is ludicrously out of proportion to
the cost of other labor which requires the
same qualities and skill. Yet the supply
becomes less and the demand greater in spite
of the fact that the number of women who
have to earn their own living continues to
increase and wages for all other kinds OF la
Dor that they do become less. This is
the anomaly which needs explanation.
It may seem absurd that woman should
sew fifteen hours day for three or four dol
lars week when, if she be strong and have
no small children, she might earn the same
wages and her board and lodging besides as
domestic. But absurd as it may be, it is
net inexp1ieable. The imprint of servitude
remains on the house servant, as it does not
on the teacher or even on the seamstress,
and rather than have three good meals day
in the kitchen of mistresses, most American
women prefer TO have fewer meals and less
wholesome ones in their own homes.

MADE A FORMAL COMPLAINT.


The Ticket Boyeott Case Brought Before
the LIS. e. Commission.
WASHINGTON City, May 24-The inter
state commerce commission received and took
action Monday upon complaints coming from
the Chicago, Rock Island Il Pacific, and Chi
cago & Alton roads against the New York
Central & Hudson River and the Pennsyl
vallia roads. These western roads complain
that the New York Central and Pennsy ania
roads refuse To afford complainants equal ia
cIhties for receiving through traffic for Kan
sas City; and that they refuse to sell tickets
over compliments roads for that point, or
to Chicago over their own roads on request
of compliments agents. They characterize
this M ',tteiupt on the part Of the eastern
roads To- corr-t' the travelling public, aud an
injurious discrimination against the complain
ants. The commission sent copies of the COM
plants to the eastern roads, with d notice TO
answer them within ten days time.
A communication was received from the
Mississippi state railway commission urging
the rigid enforcement of the haul clause, and
the revocation Of the suspensions heretofore
ordered, ON the ground that suspension makes
the law almost nugatory. They say the
fourth clause is U great help to interior towns,
and to people who live along the lines of the
roads The claim of the railroads, the Mis-
sisSlppl commission say, that the disciimina-
ton should lie allowed to continue in order
to enable the railroads to compete with the
water ways, should lie addressed to congress.
The necessity OF extending governmental su-
IE-lVlslon TO waterways may become appa-
rent and if ~, CungreSS can and should
